Owner

Summary

Added a new build_quartz Dagger function that builds the Quartz site from a pre-processed source tree (no towncrier)
Reordered the release workflow so towncrier runs once on the runner, then passes the updated working tree to build-quartz
build_docs and build_changelog are preserved for standalone use — build_docs now delegates to build_quartz internally

Motivation

Previously towncrier ran twice per release: once inside a Dagger container (via build_docs → build_changelog) and once on the runner to capture CHANGELOG.md changes for the git commit. This was wasteful and fragile — if towncrier behavior changed, the two runs could produce different results.

Test plan

Review diff to confirm workflow step ordering is correct
Trigger a release and confirm towncrier runs only once
Verify the docs tarball contains the updated CHANGELOG.md
dagger call build-quartz --src=. --version=vX.Y.Z should work standalone

Eliminate double towncrier run in release workflow 7dbb50a57b

Add build_quartz Dagger function that builds the Quartz site without
running towncrier, and reorder the workflow so towncrier runs once on
the runner before passing the updated source tree to Dagger.

Drop build_changelog, simplify build_docs to Quartz-only 5af97e6a7e

build_changelog is no longer needed — towncrier now runs on the runner
before Dagger. build_docs becomes the direct Quartz build (no towncrier
delegation). Update docs to match.
